Reuters outlines how Vietnam is causing China headaches in disputed seas with submarines

In an in-depth report, Reuters showed how Vietnam’s evolving submarine program is causing China strategic headaches in the disputed South China Sea. Vietnam has taken possession of two Kilo-class submarines from Russia and will get a third in November under a $2.6 billion deal agreed with Moscow in 2009. Experts say Hanoi’s new capabilities could make Beijing think twice before pushing its much smaller neighbor around in disputed waters.
